SALES & USE TAX REVIEWS consists of a comprehensive analysis of purchase transactions, subsequently gathering documentation for an appeal, filing the appeal at the proper state review level, and following the refund claim through the appeal process until completion.  A “reverse audit” also allows your company to recover what is rightfully owed to you.  IST Solutions focuses on discovering sales and use tax paid on exempt transactions, as well as issues that arise due to court decisions, policy changes or compliance errors.  

 

AUDIT REPRESENTATION - IST Solutions provides expertise in state audit representation.  Our firm provides clients with ongoing audit assistance and defense work, with the primary goal being to minimize audit deficiency.  Each state jurisdiction has different policies and procedures.  Timing is always a consideration.  Therefore, it is best for IST Solutions to get involved in an audit as early as possible.

 

COMPLIANCE CONSULTING - IST Solutions will review your past purchases for sales and use tax compliance which may provide some protection against potential deficiencies in upcoming audits.
